Men's weight loss stories
Obesity is considered a public health concern. In Australia, there are a greater number of overweight or obese men compared with women. The media is an important source of information about body weight and weight management. We undertook a qualitative study to analyse men's weight loss stories in a popular men's magazine. Between January 2009 and December 2012, we collected 47 men's weight loss stories from the Australian edition of Men's Health …
Incorporating Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Worldviews Through Innovative Text Analysis
In Australia, graduates of Master of Public Health (MPH) programs are expected to achieve a set of core competencies, designed to ensure they will be culturally safe practitioners when working with Indigenous communities. This study reviewed a sample of MPH programs to determine the level of integration that has been achieved since these core competencies were developed. In this article, we will focus on the innovative data analysis process used …
Drivers of sustained hygiene behaviour change
The Men’s Shed
Surveillance, responsibility and control
Background: Discussions of gambling have traditionally focused on ideas of “problem” and “responsible” gambling. However, few studies have examined how Institutions attempt to exert social control over gamblers in order to promote so-called “responsible” behaviour. In this study, we examine the way “problem” and “responsible” gambling are discussed by Australian governments and the gambling industry, using a theoretical framework based on the wor…
Global Health and International Relations
Producing the evidence we need and validating the evidence we have
If health policy-makers are to fund arts/health programmes, they need evidence that there is a benefit. For some, the best research evidence is to be derived from blinded clinical trials that have been synthesized into a systematic review. Clearly, however, there are questions which cannot be answered with clinical trials. In this article we discuss how high-quality evidence can be derived from many kinds of research. Clinical trials are useful i…
“Communicate to vaccinate”
BACKGROUND: Vaccination is a cost-effective public health measure and is central to the Millennium Development Goal of reducing child mortality. However, childhood vaccination coverage remains sub-optimal in many settings. While communication is a key feature of vaccination programmes, we are not aware of any comprehensive approach to organising the broad range of communication interventions that can be delivered to parents and communities to imp…
Enhancing aspects of the higher education student experience
Enhancing the student experience is now recognised by tertiary institutions as a valuable undertaking. Universities are committed to providing the broadest possible range of student services and activities, to continue to attract and retain a capable, diverse student cohort and to build on the University's commitment to equity, access and participation. In late 2007, the student population at a large Australian university was consulted by means o…
Organ Procurement and Health Care Chaplaincy in Australia
Leading the Way
There are multiple factors in the paid workforce which affect production in terms of health and well-being; these include grieving and “presenteeism.” This project was about developing a model for an integrated approach to grief support in the workplace. This model involves 3 overlapping domains: management ( compassionate leadership, as per Sarros, Cooper, Hartican, & Barker, 2006); “workshop floor” ( befriending, as adapted from Kennedy, McKenz…
